The Road Not Taken

1.    The speaker is upset that he wasn’t able to take two paths – he regrets the fact he had to make the decision to choose. However, when it comes to the actual decision he made, he doesn’t regret the fact that he chose the one less traveled. He chose the one that was grassy and wanted wear, and made his own path. He allowed himself to be curious to see where that would take him, making him independent enough to make his own choices.

2.    “If you want something you've never had, you must do something you have never done”. This quote can backup the idea of taking the road less traveled. By making this decision, he probably had to make different decisions than others would have on the other path. The path he took allowed him to stand out from others and say he had done something different to get to where he ended up. He was able to grow as a person by being able to make his own decisions and not following the paths of others.


What I think it means:

    The meaning of this poem means to be independent and make your own decisions because you never know where you’ll end up. You never know if the person you decide to follow is on the right path, so you may as well make your own choices. Make sure that if you’re to regret something, it’s not that you ended up being a follower, but it was because you as an individual chose the wrong path. If you end up having to pick from two-decisions, stick with your guy, and travel the road you want, even if it means the road less traveled.
